Sir I am in the receipt of yours of the 28 th Feb y & in compliance with yours have written to the Compt roller office for the documents you request which I have the Honor herewith to transmit together with the Dep Compt roller Letter - I think in reference to the proofs of service in Deubon Regt that on Examination you will find that what you suppose to be Conrad Walts is meant for Conrad Foltz I believe I have now furnished all the proof proof necessary to establish this case - The applicant has already arrived at that age which will preclude her enjoyment of the small pittance she can receive & it seems hard to require such technical nicety when there is nothing looking like a wish to impose on the Department - If required I can I think with some furnish the Department with further proof of his Imprisonment in Canada by the affidavits of his companions in captivity I am Sir Respectfully Yours W.

Sir I have for some time been endeav- -oring to obtain a pension for Mrs Catharine Folt, widow of Conrad Folt deceased. By my last advice from the department through Mr Doug our member. If I understand the department a pension is admitted as due Mrs Folt. I wrote requesting that a certificate might issue for the services proved without delay Why may not this be done Mrs Folt is now old & fast going the way of all the earth & if she is to derive any benefit it must be soon. She is poor & needs the miserable pittance that is granted by our Congress - Will you Sir write me definite- -ly on this subject & if a pension is to issue Enclose her certificate
Resptly yours

Gentlemen:
Can you give me any information regarding the war record of Conrad Volz or Foltz? His name appears on the Herkimer monument at Ainskery near Utica N. Y. He was wounded & taken prisoner to Quebec and was later exchanged according to tradition. This took place at the battle of Ainskery in 1877. If you can find any record, a statement of it will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
